    Bogging issue

    Removing the fuel line off the carb is just giving the fuel tank time to suck in some air. Your first run is 20 minutes, pulling the line off and you get 10 minutes. Open the gas cap as Scott06 mentioned, you should go back to 20 minutes If this works then as was said it's the tank vent line...

    Mercruiser 4.3 will not start

    First Aid Kit

    Thanks for the input, does seem like what I was thinking, starting with a basic kit and add other stuff as needed is an easy way to start. My current kit is getting so old I should probably toss most of it because of age and just keep the stuff which doesn't have age issues

    Mercruiser 4.3 will not start

    Something is just not right about the motors wiring Disconnecting the "in-gear" switch (previous thread) kills the motor which should not happen. BTW, the OP can reopen the previous thread

    1999 4.3 Gi no spark from coil & low voltage to fuel pumps

    Your correct wire to pin 85 comes from the ECM. The ECM applies a ground on this pin to energize relay and turn pumps ON Pin 85 should have 12V on it coming from the other side of the coil pin 86 and thru the coil. When relay is not energized you should see voltage on 85 until ECM applies the...
